Vibe Island


Despite poor reception, Super Princess Peach does stand as a unique game within the Super Mario Bros. series, being one of the few games to star Peach as the game’s main character. The game takes place on Vibe Island, a place where emotions run rampant due to Bowser’s fiddling with the legendary vibe scepter, which is not what it sounds like.

The stage will take place on a large platform with an arrangement of smaller platforms above it, which will float around a recreation of the island from the game, showing it from all sides. At regular intervals, one of Peach’s emotion splash pages will flash across the screen, inducing the respective emotion on the fighters. Anger will surround them in flames and give them a boost of power, Sadness will heighten their speed but make everything slippery, Joy will cause them to become light and floaty, and Calm will progressively heal any damage.

Perry


Even more spinoffs came along as Nintendo tried more and more things with their golden goose. One idea was a game where Princess Peach became the hero and had to be the one to save the Mario brothers from Bowser. Along the way, she came into possession of a strange, talking umbrella who had once been a little boy with magical powers.

This is Perry, Peach’s faithful companion throughout the game. He would never appear again, leaving his story sadly unresolved thanks to the game’s poor reception. This came in some part due to the game’s emotion mechanic, that gave Peach special abilities based on her emotions, which many found problematic to say the least.

As a fighter, Perry seems the perfect choice to inherit the unique mechanics of the game, allowing Peach to use the moves she uses elsewhere. He will be among the lightest and floatiest of the fighters in the game, being an umbrella, and he will be able to alter his stats using his emotion-based system.

Likelihood rating: Probably not

Princess Peach


Your journey has been long and hard. You have faced eight different worlds, filled with enemies of every shape and size, battled false Bowsers seven different times, only to be told the princess is elsewhere. Finally, you come to the final castle in the final world, take on the real Bowser at long last, and finally step through to find the princess herself waiting for you, waiting to give you a kiss for your efforts.

This is Princess Peach, known as Princess Toadstool for some time in the west. She is the benevolent and kindly ruler of the Mushroom Kingdom, taken hostage by Bowser in an attempt to subjugate the Mushroom People. Although she has a tendency to be kidnapped a lot, she has been shown to be more than capable of fighting her own battles, displaying powerful magic and even fighting alongside Mario and Luigi on numerous adventures, once even taking on Bowser’s forces alone to save her plumber friends.

In game, Peach is light and floaty, able to float for extended periods of time, matching her appearance in Super Mario Bros. 2. Her moveset will make use of her parasol and her heart magic, as well as numerous abilities demonstrated throughout her select playable appearances, be those in sports games or regular adventure games.

Character Sheet: Perry (Side Character Spinoffs)

PERRY

Today, we begin our next round of character sheets, with updates for every major character who appeared in the Luigi's Mansion series, Super Princess Peach, or Captain Toad's Treasure Tracker. Most of these should be fairly simple, with only four newcomers to speak of. They are:

1. Mario
2. Luigi
3. Princess Peach
4. Toad
4e. Toadette
5. Bowser
6. Koopa Troopa
6e. Dry Bones
7. Goomba
8. Piranha Plant
9. Boo
10. Blooper
11. Lakitu
12. Hammer Bro
13. Chargin' Chuck
14. Wiggler
15. Chain Chomp
16. Petey Piranha
17. King Boo
18. Kamek
19. Shy Guy
20. Vacuum Luigi (New)
20e. Professor E. Gadd (New)
21. Perry (New)
22. Ghost (New)

Perry the Parasol is a supporting character from Super Princess Peach who acts as her primary weapon. Some backstory is given, but never given any sort of closure to, that Perry was once a human child with some kind of magical gift, but was transformed into a parasol by two shadowy figures and found by Toadsworth, who then gave him to Peach. As Perry is shown to be able to move around on his own, and as Peach's general gimmick in the game is rather divisive among fans, I figured there was no good reason why he might not inherit the moveset instead.

The main gimmick of the game is all emotion-based, built around four different emotional extremes: Anger, which makes Peach light herself on fire; Sadness, which makes her cry torrents of water and run faster; Joy, which makes her fly into the air on a small tornado; and Calm, which lets her heal for a second. Other moves directly connected to Perry himself is acting as a bludgeoning weapon, a boat, a submarine, hanging from a zipline, and covering her to protect from harm. All of these together give Perry a lot to work with.

Here's the moveset I came up with:

Standard B: Rage
Perry will get angry and burst into flames, doing heavy damage to anyone standing nearby. These flames will last for a short time.

Side B: Gloom
Perry will become sad and start crying, torrents of water shooting from his eyes and making the stage slick. He can also run in this state, hopping faster than normal.

Up B: Joy
Perry will become happy and start to sing, flying up into the air on a small tornado and blowing aside anyone who comes too close.

Down B: Calm
Perry will calm himself down and gather his emotions, letting himself heal and boosting his own power. This is similar to Wii Fit Trainer's Down B.

Final Smash: Vibe Sceptre
Perry will whip out the macguffin of the game, the Vibe Sceptre and wave it around over his head, causing extreme emotional uncontrollable responses in all characters on stage, whether they run around spewing water uncontrollably, light on fire taking heavy damage, floating in the air unable to get down, or simply not doing anything out of calm.

Entrance: The shadowy figures who transformed him will drop him on the stage.

Taunts: Showing small bursts of his emotional moves would work, maybe just mirroring Peach's emotional faces from each one or so.

Thanks for reading! Next up, we'll finish up with the ghosts from Luigi's Mansion!

Character Sheet: Kamek (Side Character Spinoffs)

KAMEK

Today, we begin our next round of character sheets, with updates for every major character who appeared in the Luigi's Mansion series, Super Princess Peach, or Captain Toad's Treasure Tracker. Most of these should be fairly simple, with only four newcomers to speak of. They are:

1. Mario
2. Luigi
3. Princess Peach
4. Toad
4e. Toadette
5. Bowser
6. Koopa Troopa
6e. Dry Bones
7. Goomba
8. Piranha Plant
9. Boo
10. Blooper
11. Lakitu
12. Hammer Bro
13. Chargin' Chuck
14. Wiggler
15. Chain Chomp
16. Petey Piranha
17. King Boo
18. Kamek
19. Shy Guy
20. Vacuum Luigi (New)
20e. Professor E. Gadd (New)
21. Perry (New)
22. Ghost (New)

Today, we'll cover Kamek, the Magikoopa advisor of Bowser. He appears only as a boss in Super Princess Peach, albeit looking a bit different from his normal appearance. As far as abilities, it's all pretty basic Kamek stuff.

Here's the moveset:

Standard B: Magic Spell

Side B: Broomstick

Up B: Teleport

Down B: Hammer

Final Smash: Boss Battle

Entrance: Swoop in on his broom and do his little chuckle.

Taunts: Hold up his wand and wave it around for a second, is a good one. His chuckle, as mentioned before. Maybe cast a little magic and surprise himself.

Next up: Let's go over the Shy Guys!

Friday, June 19, 2020

Character Sheet: King Boo (Side Character Spinoffs)

KING BOO

Today, we begin our next round of character sheets, with updates for every major character who appeared in the Luigi's Mansion series, Super Princess Peach, or Captain Toad's Treasure Tracker. Most of these should be fairly simple, with only four newcomers to speak of. They are:

1. Mario
2. Luigi
3. Princess Peach
4. Toad
4e. Toadette
5. Bowser
6. Koopa Troopa
6e. Dry Bones
7. Goomba
8. Piranha Plant
9. Boo
10. Blooper
11. Lakitu
12. Hammer Bro
13. Chargin' Chuck
14. Wiggler
15. Chain Chomp
16. Petey Piranha
17. King Boo
18. Kamek
19. Shy Guy
20. Vacuum Luigi (New)
20e. Professor E. Gadd (New)
21. Perry (New)
22. Ghost (New)

Now here's one who's really getting an upgrade. King Boo appears as the main villain in every single Luigi's Mansion game and as a boss in Super Princess Peach. While his boss battles in SPP and the first Luigi's Mansion are nothing to write home about, with him acting basically just like a Boo, his boss battles in the later Mansion games greatly expanded on his capabilities, meaning he gets an upgrade from echo fighter to full on character in his own right.

One major ability he shows is the ability to trap his enemies in paintings mostly using a strange powerful picture frame to do so. That will definitely come into play here. He also shows the ability to shoot a powerful purple lightning bolt from his crown, which he uses to shatter the Dark Moon in the second game. In his own boss battles, he can also call down lightning in spots, bounce across the floor on his belly, throw large spiky items, roll around like a boulder, summon up purple energy gates to trap you in a specific location, spit fireballs at you, and attack and sweep with his tongue. All of these are quite unique from your basic Boo, so let's see what we can do.

Here's his moveset:

Standard B: Crown Laser
He will shoot the purple lightning bolt he uses to destroy the Dark Moon and shock his opponents.

Side B: Tongue Slap
He will slap the ground with his long tongue and then roll around a couple of times, doing a little bit of extra damage.

Up B: Belly Bash
When on the ground, he will slam hard on the ground with his belly and bounce himself up into the air. When not on the ground, he will simply flip himself upward.

Down B: Energy Gate
I didn't want to do lightning again, so instead King Boo will summon up one of those energy gates that trap Luigi in a certain location and it will act as a shield for him.

Final Smash: Painting
A giant picture frame will appear above the stage and slam down, trapping every fighter inside of it, removing a single stock, and saving the portrait to your game's photos. (I assume this hypothetical game also has unlimited data for pictures as well. If not, I imagine it would just show you the portrait and then ask you later if you want to keep it). This move could theoretically be a standard B move as well, if the portrait was smaller and only captured a single opponent temporarily, like a Yoshi Egg. I went with the Crown Laser instead, but the possibility is there.

Entrance: Emerging from his painting portal

Taunts: His evil laugh he always does, admiring a portrait of one of the Portrait ghosts maybe, tossing around a piece of the Dark Moon. Heck, maybe Hellen Gravely could pop up and fawn over him.

Thanks for reading! Next up, we'll cover our boy Kamek.

Character Sheet: Petey Piranha (Side Character Spinoffs)

PETEY PIRANHA

Today, we begin our next round of character sheets, with updates for every major character who appeared in the Luigi's Mansion series, Super Princess Peach, or Captain Toad's Treasure Tracker. Most of these should be fairly simple, with only four newcomers to speak of. They are:

1. Mario
2. Luigi
3. Princess Peach
4. Toad

15. Chain Chomp
16. Petey Piranha
17. King Boo
18. Kamek
19. Shy Guy
20. Vacuum Luigi (New)
20e. Professor E. Gadd (New)
21. Perry (New)
22. Ghost (New)

Today, it's time to return to the Mario series's favorite recurring boss character: Petey Piranha! He appears in Super Princess Peach as a boss, during which he can fly and throw tornado gusts around, and also demonstrates the ability to spit up Nippers. It's a pretty basic Petey fight, but it works nonetheless.

Here is his moveset:

Standard B: Piranhabon

Side B: Tornado

Up B: Fly

Down B: Divebomb

Final Smash: Emissary Cage Match

Entrance: He will wake up from a nap.

Taunts: His roar, maybe with a bit of a stunning effect. His belly button poking out and his rolling over on the floor. Napping, maybe.

Next up: Let's cover the main villain of the Luigi's Mansion series, King Boo.

Character Sheet: Chain Chomp (Side Character Spinoffs)

CHAIN CHOMP

Today, we begin our next round of character sheets, with updates for every major character who appeared in the Luigi's Mansion series, Super Princess Peach, or Captain Toad's Treasure Tracker. Most of these should be fairly simple, with only four newcomers to speak of. They are:

1. Mario
2. Luigi
3. Princess Peach
4. Toad
4e. Toadette
5. Bowser
6. Koopa Troopa
6e. Dry Bones
7. Goomba
8. Piranha Plant
9. Boo
10. Blooper
11. Lakitu
12. Hammer Bro
13. Chargin' Chuck
14. Wiggler
15. Chain Chomp
16. Petey Piranha
17. King Boo
18. Kamek
19. Shy Guy
20. Vacuum Luigi (New)
20e. Professor E. Gadd (New)
21. Perry (New)
22. Ghost (New)

Chain Chomp's pretty simple here. It appears in Super Princess Peach, and acts basically as it always does. That's pretty much it.

Let's see what we can do:

Standard B: Lunge

Side B: Chomp Rock

Up B: Incoming Chomp

Down B: Earthquake

Final Smash: Chomp Shark

Entrance: It appears stuck to a peg in the ground. The peg will disappear into the ground three segments at a time, at which point the Chomp will break free.

Taunts: Bouncing around and biting the way he does. The famous barking sound.

Thanks for reading! Next up let's cover Petey Piranha.

Character Sheet: Wiggler (Side Character Spinoffs)

WIGGLER

Today, we begin our next round of character sheets, with updates for every major character who appeared in the Luigi's Mansion series, Super Princess Peach, or Captain Toad's Treasure Tracker. Most of these should be fairly simple, with only four newcomers to speak of. They are:

1. Mario
2. Luigi
3. Princess Peach
4. Toad
4e. Toadette
5. Bowser
6. Koopa Troopa
6e. Dry Bones
7. Goomba
8. Piranha Plant
9. Boo
10. Blooper
11. Lakitu
12. Hammer Bro
13. Chargin' Chuck
14. Wiggler
15. Chain Chomp
16. Petey Piranha
17. King Boo
18. Kamek
19. Shy Guy
20. Vacuum Luigi (New)
20e. Professor E. Gadd (New)
21. Perry (New)
22. Ghost (New)

Today, let's cover Wiggler, one of our newer additions to the enemy roster. Wiggler appears as a boss in Super Princess Peach. Not much to work with, but enough. He will charge across the screen at you and rocks will drop from the ceiling. Also in the cutscene, he is seen bouncing a ball containing a Toad on his nose.

Here's the moveset I came up with:

Standard B: Panel

Side B: Charge

Up B: Flutter

Down B: Egg-odil

Final Smash: Mechawiggler

Entrance: waking up from sleep.

Taunts: Bouncing a ball on his nose, rolling his body segments here and there.

Thanks for reading! Next up, let's work with the Chain Chomps.

Character Sheet: Hammer Bro (Side Character Spinoffs)

HAMMER BRO

Today, we begin our next round of character sheets, with updates for every major character who appeared in the Luigi's Mansion series, Super Princess Peach, or Captain Toad's Treasure Tracker. Most of these should be fairly simple, with only four newcomers to speak of. They are:

1. Mario
2. Luigi
3. Princess Peach
4. Toad
4e. Toadette
5. Bowser
6. Koopa Troopa
6e. Dry Bones
7. Goomba
8. Piranha Plant
9. Boo
10. Blooper
11. Lakitu
12. Hammer Bro
13. Chargin' Chuck
14. Wiggler
15. Chain Chomp
16. Petey Piranha
17. King Boo
18. Kamek
19. Shy Guy
20. Vacuum Luigi (New)
20e. Professor E. Gadd (New)
21. Perry (New)
22. Ghost (New)

Another one in the general vein of being pretty easy. They're main role this time around is in Super Princess Peach, where they are surprisingly plot-relevant, being the main captors of Mario and Luigi, and one has a whole boss battle against you at one point. Outside of that, it's a pretty basic Hammer Bro.

Here is the moveset so far:

Standard B: Hammer Toss

Side B: Boomerang

Up B: Sledge Jump

Down B: Sumo Stomp

Final Smash: Amazing Flyin' Hammer Bro

Entrance: Floats down on its platform

Taunts: Jumping around and tossing a single hammer would fit maybe. Maybe something reflecting how hyper they are in Odyssey.

Next up: Let's work with Chargin' Chuck once again.

Friday, June 12, 2020

Character Sheet: Lakitu and Spinies (Side Character Spinoffs)

LAKITU & SPINIES

Today, we begin our next round of character sheets, with updates for every major character who appeared in the Luigi's Mansion series, Super Princess Peach, or Captain Toad's Treasure Tracker. Most of these should be fairly simple, with only four newcomers to speak of. They are:

1. Mario
2. Luigi
3. Princess Peach
4. Toad
4e. Toadette
5. Bowser
6. Koopa Troopa
6e. Dry Bones
7. Goomba
8. Piranha Plant
9. Boo
10. Blooper
11. Lakitu
12. Hammer Bro
13. Chargin' Chuck
14. Wiggler
15. Chain Chomp
16. Petey Piranha
17. King Boo
18. Kamek
19. Shy Guy
20. Vacuum Luigi (New)
20e. Professor E. Gadd (New)
21. Perry (New)
22. Ghost (New)

Once again, pretty much basic. Lakitu appears in Super Princess Peach, acting mostly as he does in the Yoshi games. Not really much to say.

Here is his moveset again:

Standard B: Spiny

Side B: Fishing Rod

Up B: Cloud Poof

Down B: Lightning

Final Smash: Lakithunder

Entrance: Floats down from above with its iconic sound.

Taunts: We haven't covered the Mario Kart series yet, but it's 3-2-1 opening makes a lot of sense, or maybe waving the flag at the end of a lap. Also tucking down behind his cloud and shifting his eyes back and forth for a second. Maybe pulling out a camera and checking its quality?

Next up: Let's cover the Hammer Bros!

Thursday, June 11, 2020

Character Sheet: Blooper (Side Character Spinoffs)

BLOOPER

Today, we begin our next round of character sheets, with updates for every major character who appeared in the Luigi's Mansion series, Super Princess Peach, or Captain Toad's Treasure Tracker. Most of these should be fairly simple, with only four newcomers to speak of. They are:

1. Mario
2. Luigi
3. Princess Peach
4. Toad
4e. Toadette
5. Bowser
6. Koopa Troopa
6e. Dry Bones
7. Goomba
8. Piranha Plant
9. Boo
10. Blooper
11. Lakitu
12. Hammer Bro
13. Chargin' Chuck
14. Wiggler
15. Chain Chomp
16. Petey Piranha
17. King Boo
18. Kamek
19. Shy Guy
20. Vacuum Luigi (New)
20e. Professor E. Gadd (New)
21. Perry (New)
22. Ghost (New)

Today, let's cover the Blooper, who pretty much just appears in Super Princess Peach and Toad's Treasure Tracker, functioning basically as they always do. Not much to say.

Now, it's at this point, I have to start to wonder to myself, what's even the point anymore of doing all of these revisions when for the most part we've covered most of what there is to cover and most of the characters will simply have tiny little blurbs as seen above. So, here's my thought. The RPGs are next after this, first Legend of Seven Stars and the Paper Mario series, then the Mario & Luigi series. Those I expect are likely the last games to offer up any substantial new changes to the existing roster entries (plus just so many more new characters). After that will be the Mario sports games, and from there we will have the Party games and a bunch of random others. Most of these games will likely include a vast majority of the currently existing roster, but simply as one among the many playable characters in the various sports titles or as background decoration and obstacles, and thus will not yield much personal to themselves. So, here's what I'll do. I'll finish out the RPGs doing the full revision treatment for all appearing characters, and then for everything after, I'll cover only the new cast and simply skim over anything notable for anyone else. Sound good? Good!

Here is the moveset:

Standard B: Ink

Side B: Surf

Up B: Inkjet

Down B: Tentacle Slap

Final Smash: Gooper Blooper

Entrance: Maybe float onto the stage, referencing how they can fly in The Lost Levels.

Taunts: Ink a little the way they do in Mario Kart. Wave a tentacle around. Float upward in the same animation from the original games.

Thanks for reading! Next up, we'll cover the Lakitu enemy!

Wednesday, June 10, 2020

Character Sheet: Boo (Side Character Spinoffs)

BOO

Today, we begin our next round of character sheets, with updates for every major character who appeared in the Luigi's Mansion series, Super Princess Peach, or Captain Toad's Treasure Tracker. Most of these should be fairly simple, with only four newcomers to speak of. They are:

1. Mario
2. Luigi
3. Princess Peach
4. Toad
4e. Toadette
5. Bowser
6. Koopa Troopa
6e. Dry Bones
7. Goomba
8. Piranha Plant
9. Boo
10. Blooper
11. Lakitu
12. Hammer Bro
13. Chargin' Chuck
14. Wiggler
15. Chain Chomp
16. Petey Piranha
17. King Boo
18. Kamek
19. Shy Guy
20. Vacuum Luigi (New)
20e. Professor E. Gadd (New)
21. Perry (New)
22. Ghost (New)

This one should be a bit meatier than previous entries here. Boo appears in every single entry this time around, as a basic enemy in Super Princess Peach and Toad's Treasure Tracker, acting about as they normally do, but then play a significant role in the Luigi's Mansion series. Not only is King Boo a major player in all three games, acting as the main villain across the board, but the Boos themselves have a unique role where they hide out in levels requiring Luigi to track them down and capture them. There's not much to say from there, with them just hiding out for the most part until they are revealed, sometimes tossing out bombs or balls if you guess wrong. In later games, you could use your vacuum to grab their tongues before releasing them and sending them bouncing around the room to do some damage.

Here is their moveset:

Standard B: Obake Candlestick

Side B: Bomb Boo

Up B: Boo String

Down B: Vanish

Final Smash: Boolossus
For sure, Big Boo is an important character to represent here.

Entrance: Appears out of nowhere

Taunts: Just the basic cover-your-face animation. That screech of theirs needs to be included too. When they flash and show off a blue coin for sure.

Next up: Let's cover the Bloopers!

Tuesday, June 9, 2020

Character Sheet: Piranha Plant (Side Character Spinoffs)

PIRANHA PLANT

Today, we begin our next round of character sheets, with updates for every major character who appeared in the Luigi's Mansion series, Super Princess Peach, or Captain Toad's Treasure Tracker. Most of these should be fairly simple, with only four newcomers to speak of. They are:

1. Mario
2. Luigi
3. Princess Peach
4. Toad
4e. Toadette
5. Bowser
6. Koopa Troopa
6e. Dry Bones
7. Goomba
8. Piranha Plant
9. Boo
10. Blooper
11. Lakitu
12. Hammer Bro
13. Chargin' Chuck
14. Wiggler
15. Chain Chomp
16. Petey Piranha
17. King Boo
18. Kamek
19. Shy Guy
20. Vacuum Luigi (New)
20e. Professor E. Gadd (New)
21. Perry (New)
22. Ghost (New)

Today, let's cover Piranha Plant once again. Piranha Plant appears in Super Princess Peach and Toad's Treasure Tracker. His Princess Peach version is more akin to the Yoshi series version of the character, being more of a head on a short stem, constantly chomping and following the players every movement. In Treasure Tracker, it's more of the 3D World types, including the large creeper version blocking your path. Not really much to say here.

Here's his moveset:

Standard B: Fireball

Side B: Ptooie

Up B: Fly

Down B: Paint

Final Smash: Naval Piranha

Entrance: Pops out of a pipe.

Taunts: Chomping around the way he does. Doing the iconic up and down movement. Maybe the sleep animation.

Next up: Let's cover Boo!

Monday, June 8, 2020

Character Sheet: Goomba (Side Character Spinoffs)

GOOMBA

Today, we begin our next round of character sheets, with updates for every major character who appeared in the Luigi's Mansion series, Super Princess Peach, or Captain Toad's Treasure Tracker. Most of these should be fairly simple, with only four newcomers to speak of. They are:

1. Mario
2. Luigi
3. Princess Peach
4. Toad
4e. Toadette
5. Bowser
6. Koopa Troopa
6e. Dry Bones
7. Goomba
8. Piranha Plant
9. Boo
10. Blooper
11. Lakitu
12. Hammer Bro
13. Chargin' Chuck
14. Wiggler
15. Chain Chomp
16. Petey Piranha
17. King Boo
18. Kamek
19. Shy Guy
20. Vacuum Luigi (New)
20e. Professor E. Gadd (New)
21. Perry (New)
22. Ghost (New)

This one also won't be too hard. Goombas also appear in Super Princess Peach, acting much as they always do. Not much to say really.

Here is the moveset again:

Standard B: Goom Spear

Side B: Kuribo's Shoe

Up B: Paragoomba

Down B: Stack Up

Final Smash: Goomboss

Entrance: Pops out of chestnut shell.

Taunts: The little hop around and squeak from Super Mario 64 for sure.

Next up: Let's check out Piranha Plant.

Saturday, June 6, 2020

Character Sheet: Dry Bones (Side Character Spinoffs)

DRY BONES

Today, we begin our next round of character sheets, with updates for every major character who appeared in the Luigi's Mansion series, Super Princess Peach, or Captain Toad's Treasure Tracker. Most of these should be fairly simple, with only four newcomers to speak of. They are:

1. Mario
2. Luigi
3. Princess Peach
4. Toad
4e. Toadette
5. Bowser
6. Koopa Troopa
6e. Dry Bones
7. Goomba
8. Piranha Plant
9. Boo
10. Blooper
11. Lakitu
12. Hammer Bro
13. Chargin' Chuck
14. Wiggler
15. Chain Chomp
16. Petey Piranha
17. King Boo
18. Kamek
19. Shy Guy
20. Vacuum Luigi (New)
20e. Professor E. Gadd (New)
21. Perry (New)
22. Ghost (New)

Today's pretty simple too. Dry Bones appeared in Super Princess Peach, acting much as they always do. That's about it!

Here is the character's moveset:

Standard B: Bone Throw

Side B: Shell Spin

Up B: Para Bones

Down B: Fall Apart

Final Smash: Bone Mech

Entrance: Starts out as a pile of bones before coming together.

Taunts: Rattling, tossing around his head, so on.

Next up: Let's cover the goombas!

Friday, June 5, 2020

Character Sheet: Koopa Troopa (Side Character Spinoffs)

KOOPA TROOPA

Today, we begin our next round of character sheets, with updates for every major character who appeared in the Luigi's Mansion series, Super Princess Peach, or Captain Toad's Treasure Tracker. Most of these should be fairly simple, with only four newcomers to speak of. They are:

1. Mario
2. Luigi
3. Princess Peach
4. Toad
4e. Toadette
5. Bowser
6. Koopa Troopa
6e. Dry Bones
7. Goomba
8. Piranha Plant
9. Boo
10. Blooper
11. Lakitu
12. Hammer Bro
13. Chargin' Chuck
14. Wiggler
15. Chain Chomp
16. Petey Piranha
17. King Boo
18. Kamek
19. Shy Guy
20. Vacuum Luigi (New)
20e. Professor E. Gadd (New)
21. Perry (New)
22. Ghost (New)

Not much to say today. Koopa Troopas appear in Super Princess Peach as basic enemies, acting as they always do, so really not much to add.

Here is the character's moveset:

Standard B: Shell Projectile

Side B: Shell Spin

Up B: Paratroopa

Down B: Shell Tuck

Final Smash: Koopa Mech

Entrance: Starts out in his shell, before emerging using the standard animation

Taunts: Giving a thumbs up and making the iconic Koopa sound, stepping outside of his shell and looking it over while in his underwear, maybe sleeping like a Snooza Koopa.

Next up: Let's cover his echo fighter, Dry Bones!

Character Sheet: Bowser (Side Character Spinoffs)

BOWSER

Today, we begin our next round of character sheets, with updates for every major character who appeared in the Luigi's Mansion series, Super Princess Peach, or Captain Toad's Treasure Tracker. Most of these should be fairly simple, with only four newcomers to speak of. They are:

1. Mario
2. Luigi
3. Princess Peach
4. Toad
4e. Toadette
5. Bowser
6. Koopa Troopa
6e. Dry Bones
7. Goomba
8. Piranha Plant
9. Boo
10. Blooper
11. Lakitu
12. Hammer Bro
13. Chargin' Chuck
14. Wiggler
15. Chain Chomp
16. Petey Piranha
17. King Boo
18. Kamek
19. Shy Guy
20. Vacuum Luigi (New)
20e. Professor E. Gadd (New)
21. Perry (New)
22. Ghost (New)

Today, let's cover Bowser. Bowser appeared exactly twice in this run of games, first as the main boss of Super Princess Peach, and second, as an . . . add-on to King Boo's boss battle. Basically, King Boo drove a giant Bowser body whose head could come off. I don't know if this was a giant puppet-thing King Boo created, or if Bowser died and King Boo was possessing his body or what, but I'd rather not think about that. Both of his battles featured basic Bowser stuff like stomping, charging, breathing fire, throwing spiky boulders at his enemies, and becoming a giant, but also included newer or lesser-seen stuff like ice breath, throwing hammers, and of course the mystical Vibe Sceptre and the ability of his severed head to float around without its body. Probably not much change to his moveset for right now.

Here's his moveset so far:

Standard B: Fire Breath

Side B: Boulders

Up B: Shell Spin

Down B: Slam Down

Final Smash: Giant Bowser

Entrance: Bowser will land in his Koopa Klown Kar.

Taunts: His evil laugh from Super Mario 64, many of his taunts from Odyssey and other games, holding up a captive something or other, the list goes on.

Next up: Let's quickly cover the Koopa Troopas!

Character Sheet: Princess Peach (Side Character Spinoffs)

PRINCESS PEACH

Today, we begin our next round of character sheets, with updates for every major character who appeared in the Luigi's Mansion series, Super Princess Peach, or Captain Toad's Treasure Tracker. Most of these should be fairly simple, with only four newcomers to speak of. They are:

1. Mario
2. Luigi
3. Princess Peach
4. Toad
4e. Toadette
5. Bowser
6. Koopa Troopa
6e. Dry Bones
7. Goomba
8. Piranha Plant
9. Boo
10. Blooper
11. Lakitu
12. Hammer Bro
13. Chargin' Chuck
14. Wiggler
15. Chain Chomp
16. Petey Piranha
17. King Boo
18. Kamek
19. Shy Guy
20. Vacuum Luigi (New)
20e. Professor E. Gadd (New)
21. Perry (New)
22. Ghost (New)

Hey guys, she's not the damsel in distress this time around! Or, well, at least for only one out of five. Princess Peach does not appear at all in the first two Luigi's Mansion games, only has a brief cameo in Treasure Tracker, is among the "damsels" in Luigi's Mansion 3, and has a starring role in Super Princess Peach. However, I'm hesitant to say that the moveset unique to that game should define her, as the fact that Peach's one starring game is entirely built around extreme mood swings is a bit of a controversial subject for many fans, so I felt it probably best to keep her moveset built around her appearances in other games, and let her living parasol Perry act as the gimmick rep for Super Princess Peach. I think that's a fair compromise, yes?

Here is her moveset:

Standard B: Toadsworth

Side B: Parasol Smack

Up B: Parasol

Down B: Vegetable

Final Smash: Music Box

Entrance: She floats down from the sky on her parasol.

Taunts: Her kiss of Mario at the end of many games could be one, a lot of her small movements throughout her cutscenes perhaps, some of her victory screens from Super Mario 3D World maybe.

Next up: It's time for our boy, Toad!

Character Sheet: Luigi (Revision)

LUIGI

Today, we begin our next round of character sheets, with updates for every major character who appeared in the Luigi's Mansion series, Super Princess Peach, or Captain Toad's Treasure Tracker. Most of these should be fairly simple, with only four newcomers to speak of. They are:

1. Mario
2. Luigi
3. Princess Peach
4. Toad
4e. Toadette
5. Bowser
6. Koopa Troopa
6e. Dry Bones
7. Goomba
8. Piranha Plant
9. Boo
10. Blooper
11. Lakitu
12. Hammer Bro
13. Chargin' Chuck
14. Wiggler
15. Chain Chomp
16. Petey Piranha
17. King Boo
18. Kamek
19. Shy Guy
20. Vacuum Luigi (New)
20e. Professor E. Gadd (New)
21. Perry (New)
22. Ghost (New)

Today, let's cover Luigi. Technically, he is the star of three of the games covered here today, but as the mechanics of those games are unique enough to warrant their own character, our focus today will be on his other appearances. 1) as a damsel in distress in Super Princess Peach, and 2) in a brief cutscene in Toad's Treasure Tracker. Not much to say really.

Here is his moveset:

Standard B: Ice Flower

Side B: Boomerang

Up B: Balloon World

Down B: Item Box
I suppose that since we did so with Mario, we should at least consider this as an option for other characters with alternate forms. Right now, we only have Vacuum Luigi unless we want to consider things like the Baby Luigi color swap in the Baby Mario slot. In the future, I don't imagine we'll see a straight-up Paper Luigi, but Mr. L is a definite possibility. For now, I imagine the item box would only pop out the Poltergust.

Final Smash: POW Block
I suppose this works decently well as a final smash, Luigi hitting it three times in order to shake up the stage.

Entrance: Enters through a Warp Pipe

Taunts: A lot of the taunts he uses during these games, such as after he grabs the flag.

Next up: Let's cover Princess Peach.
